The ghosts can stay. The bat has to go. He's locked in the library while I just sit here knowing he's in there waiting for animal control to call back.
I would probably have to throw a match, run and hope for the best. Especially if that thing was a huge spider!0 -

in the library you say? He's probably reading up on how to kill you!
By now, he has probably invited friends.

This feels like a 1970's board game....
It's the bat in the library with a flame thrower.3 -

You mean she wasn't nice enough to pet the snake afterwards? Right?0 -

I like bats. They eat tons of mosquitoes. I have been thinking about getting a bat box for outside.
How do you think the bat go inside? Do you think it will leave the way it came in?
You have four good options:
Option 1: Open all the windows and doors - bats have good echolocation, and it may realize the window or door is open, and simply fly out.
Option 2: Catch it with a butterfly net. This is actually pretty hard, especially if it's on the wing. You might want to wait for it to land, and then net it. Be careful to close the top of the net and not crush the fragile bat, and then bring it outside and let it go.
Option 3: Trap it in tupperware or a jar, bowl, bucket, etc. Wait for it to land, exhausted, and then carefully place the tupperware over the bat against a wall or floor, and then slide a piece of paper between the wall and tupperware, and you've got the bat trapped. Bring it outside.
Option 4: Smother it in a blanket - drap a blanket over the bat, and then gently bunch it up and bring it outside and let it go. Remember, bats have very fragile bones in their wings, so be careful not to injure it. You can even remove it with thick leather gloves. You just don't want to get bitten. Bat's aren't aggressive, but if you're grabbing one, it'll defend itself.
